  • ★★★★★ M.

    The sponges themselves are fantastic! Very good quality, efficient and easy to use! Great! However, I am bothered by the package itself, which is really not eco-friendly at all: a huge box for just a pack of 6 sponges, wrapped in a huge layer of bubble wrap and an incredible amount of cushioning…

  • ★★★★★ S.

    This sponge is amazing. Comes individually packaged. Size and shape as described.

  • ★★★★★ L.

A few things often kept alongside this piece.

About this product

How the water-softened fibre feels
  • The rounded dome sits easily in the hand, giving a steady grip as you cleanse the face, neck or body.
  • Its porous surface drinks in water, then releases it with a soft, buffered glide across the skin.
  • The charcoal style gives it a deep grey-black tone, simple and understated beside a basin or bath.
  • Use it as part of a morning rinse, an evening cleanse, or a quieter shower ritual.
  • The texture is made for gentleness, rather than scratchy scrubbing or harsh polishing.
Konjac root fibre with a charcoal finish

This sponge is made from vegetable fibres of konjac, a plant root long used in East Asian daily life. In sponge form, konjac fibre is valued for the way it holds water, creating a soft surface layer between the sponge and the skin.

The charcoal version has a naturally dark, speckled look, with tiny visible pores across the surface. It feels simple, clean and unfussy, especially for people who prefer a minimalist bathroom routine.

A rounded, porous cleansing dome

The shape is low and curved, like a small half-dome, with a fine open texture visible across the surface. Once fully wetted, it becomes pliable and cushiony, ready to move in light circles rather than drag across the skin.

How to use and care for it

Soak the sponge in water until it is fully soft before using. Massage gently over the face or body, on its own or with your usual cleanser, then rinse it well after each use.

Press out excess water without twisting it harshly, and leave it somewhere airy to dry between uses. Replace it when the fibre begins to break down, loses its softness, or no longer feels fresh.

Konjac in Japanese bathing culture

Konjac sponges are associated with Japanese bathing and skincare traditions, where their soft texture made them suitable even for washing newborn babies. Their wider use has since spread through China, Southeast Asia and Europe, especially among people looking for a gentler alternative to rough cloths and synthetic scrubbers. The appeal is quiet and practical: plant-root fibre, plenty of water, and a softer way to make cleansing feel more deliberate.

Common questions

Should I use it dry?
No. A konjac sponge should be fully softened with water before it touches the skin.
Can I use it every day?
It is designed for regular cleansing, but use it gently and let your skin’s comfort guide how often it belongs in your routine.
Is it only for the face?
No. This sponge is intended for both face and body cleansing.
